I have a client with an 11 week old labrador that has been shown severe dominance and aggressive tendencies, and has been advised by {trainer/evaluator} to get rid of the dog. The client has 7 children and the dog has been biting them since day 1 - not play bites either. It also goes after other dogs. {Trainer} thinks it could do fine in a home without children if it had proper training. Does anyone know of anyone I can have the owner contact? She needs to get the dog out of the home ASAP as her children ages 5 x2 ,7,9,13,15 (missed on in there) are having extreme difficulty with the fact the dog has to leave - even though they have not been able to interact with the puppy normally since they got it. Appreciate any potential contacts.

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

I hope so, too. He's still very young. I generally believe in giving a dog every reasonable chance. I also think there are some that are just unfortunately born into a situation, especially genetically, that they can't overcome.
